Can I have micro needling done to the tear trough with Tyndall effect? (Photo)

Question

I have the Tyndall effect from filler underneath my right eye. Unfortunately, I am allergic to hylauradaise and therefore cannot have it dissolved. It is my understanding that the Tyndall effect is caused by filler placed too superficially, therefore, I was wondering if microneedling would penetrate the protruding skin and the filler would emerge. I realise usually filler is not affected. However, this is superficially placed filler.

There is no scientific evidence that microneedling will dissolve dermal fillers. Although there may be some fragmentation of the HA filler if it is injected with saline. Working out too much possibly makes fillers dissolve at a faster rate. Being overly active and burning a lot of calories after you've had injections can actually speed up the rate at which those fillers wear off.
